Crave - (Near East Sussex, South East)

Indi James Laz is wonderful. Really wonderful. I am so grateful to have such delicious, quality, affordable food in my community. The pasta is always so tasty and cooked to perfection. All the staff are kind and child friendly. It feels like for the price you are getting something really special. Also as its placed so close to the lovely paddling pool me and my partner often say coming home we feel like weve been on a mini holiday. Im really happy this cafe is part of my childrens childhoods and that when they grow up they can remember sitting wrapped in their towels eating the best pesto pasta in the world. Laz makes la dolce vita accessible for all.

Tat We stumbled upon this cute pub whilst driving through the South Downs National Park. It was lovely to dine by the fireplace. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant, and really went out of their way to ensure our comfort. The pub is dog friendly - there were lots of cute well behaved pups around. The pub is very cosy and the menu is more exciting than a regular pub. We had a fish and chips and a banoffee dessert as part of a set menu and both were divine. The fish batter was very light and crispy, and their take on a ‘deconstructed’ banoffee pie really on point. Would recommend and I’m looking forward to return. They also have Long Man Lager on tap which is a bonus.

Stephan Desmoulin Came here for Christmas lunch. They had a special menu for the day, and despite normally requesting reservations two weeks in advance, they were able to accommodate me the same day. Excellent food, a nice atmosphere, and very friendly staff made this a great meal for the holidays. Will come again when Im in the area!

Kylie Higgins Such a lovely brunch spot. This is our second time having breakfast and both occasions have been fantastic. The service was super friendly and the food was delicious. We had the French toast and the pancakes and they were both superb. Only tiny grumble would be to have some more of the lemon curd with the pancakes because it was so yum!

Lynn Jerman-Webber Lovely restaurant, we had arancini with fresh tomato sauce and rocket and a delicious handmade pizza with pepperoni, which was delicious. Friendly staff, comfortable seating. Will definitely go again. Highly recommend

Harry Goldsmith Visited The Sussex Ox recently and it was a great experience. The setting is beautiful, especially with the views over the South Downs perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The food was excellent, really fresh and well presented, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and welcoming without feeling over the top. A proper countryside pub with quality food and a great atmosphere. Would happily return.
